|
The Last Goodbye |
|
(Harold Reid, Don Reid, Phil Balsley, Lew DeWitt) |
|
Afraid her tears might move my mind |
|
I decided to drop her a line |
|
Because where she's concerned |
|
I just ain't strong. |
|
I couldn't look her in the eye |
|
And say our last goodbye |
|
I tried it time and time before |
|
But it went wrong. |
|
So in this letter she will find |
|
All the things that's on my mind |
|
And I'm sure she'll find the man |
|
To do her right. |
|
I know Jim and Bill will be |
|
Happy that she's free |
|
Chances are she'll be booked up |
|
Every night. |
|
And see things she'd never see |
|
Tied down to a guy like me |
|
There's a better side of life |
|
She's never known. |
|
And I know she'll be alright |
|
Once I'm gone out of her life |
|
She may not |
|
Even realize I'm gone. |
|
So I wrote it down this time |
|
And I read it line for line |
|
But it didn't read just like |
|
I meant it to. |
|
All the things I meant to say |
|
Came out sounding some other way |
|
All the goodbye's came out |
|
Sounding I love you. |
|
All the goodbye's came out |
|
Sounding I love you... |
